Toussaint

He really is a little shit. We are so desperately short in midfield and he still can’t bring himself to do what is right for those who pay for his millionaire lifestyle. He hasn’t been brilliant but he is considerably more effective than the apparition named Smallbone.

There is that, but that could be part of the same issue, he just doesn’t trust what he has to do what’s needed so feels the formation is the best use of what is at his disposal?

Juric is just desperate to try anything to form a competitive 11 from the dross squad of talentless losers.

I don’t think he will, he made a reference in his post match interview Did you think jeering of Smallbone as he came off was unfair? IJ: Yes, because he's a great guy, an incredible professional. He gives everything he has. I'm disappointed that he didn't play well. I'm not angry with him, I'm just disappointed because he's really a guy who gives everything on the training. I expected more, it's obvious, but I'm really sorry for him because he doesn't deserve it. He's a good guy. daily echo

He’d have played one of them at full back

4 non blonds, what’s going on…

He’s not a solid anything. He is spineless.

Question; who amongst this starting lineup would get into any lower mid table team? Ramsdale, KWP, Wellington, Fernandes, possibly Sulemana and Tall Paul as subs. Less than half of this team are anywhere near the required standard.

I’m not sure they are good enough for any league, particularly Smallbone who is extremely fortunate to be getting paid to play football.

I’m looking forward to our home win today. Start of a roll, thump Bournemouth this week, Brighton next weekend and the great escape is no longer just a pipe dream.

Christ on a bike, you have just identified a fundamental part of our decline.

Baz is a hologram, solid matter passes through him unimpeded.

No need for food poising, this is the game where heavy metal football clicks and we look like Real Madrid did last night against Citeh

He's been told he's starting full time in the ticket office from next Monday.

3-1 Saints. Bournemouth complacent and everything goes in our favour for the first time this season.

He only has to win one more game between now and the end of the season to “improve us”

I didn’t know that. Two former saints fullbacks playing for Newcastle.

Birmingham are a filthy side. Haven’t seen such blatant thuggery in a long time.

London Dykes seems to think he’s a Latino gang banger

One he really doesn’t like and one who’s coming back from injury and possibly not worth the risk. That’s not why we lost though, the players were generally pathetic.

I think people are reading too much into this game, yes it was poor, yes the players were off it, yes the team was a bit weird. I expect the team selection was driven by our shortage of match fit centre backs. We really don’t need a cup run, if you are going to experiment, that’s if that is what Ivan was doing, if you are going to rest players today was the day to do it.

Smallbone passes up on a 50/50, what a surprise

Parker is only marginally less annoying than Martin with his vanity.

Duke of Wellington?
